Our Apprentice says…

Anthony and I moved down to our second location, a soft, clean sandy pathway leading down to the shore. I was tempted to use a narrower aperture, like f/8 or f/11, to maximise my depth of field, but Anthony suggested using a wide aperture still, to keep separating Jen from the background. I combined this technique with a low vantage point to emphasise the sharp/blur contrast between the model and the grassy dunes behind.
